Question

As the twentieth century came to a close, the raw materials for a great national literature were at hand, waiting ________．

[　　]

A．

to use

B．

to be used

C．

to have used

D．

to be using

Answer 1

答案：B
解析：

考查动词不定式。句子主语the raw materials与use之间为被动关系，用不定式的被动式与waiting一起构成伴随状语。come to a close“结束”，the raw materials“原材料”，at hand“在手边”。

提示：

在题干中，有多个名词，只有找到不定式的逻辑主语，才能判断不定式和逻辑主语之间的语态关系。the raw materials是不定式的逻辑主语，materials和use之间是动宾关系。
